This presentation by Dr Weisenseel considered the role of fumaric acid esters (FAE) in plaque psoriasis. FAE, first developed in 1959 and approved in 1994, are available in two forms: dimethyl fumarate (DMF) alone (e.g. Skilarence®; Almirall Ltd., Uxbridge, UK) or DMF together with calcium, zinc, and magnesium salts of monoethyl fumarate (Fumaderm®).
